Around 10:00 pm Monday night, a mysterious UFO crashed into the Ottawa River, seen by dozens of eyewitnesses in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, Ontario as well as Gatineau, Quebec. Witnesses described a streak of light, followed by a “thunderous boom” as the object hit the water.
While some have suggested it may be a meteorite, at least one website reports, “the object had lights on it and appeared to change course several times, like a small plane struggling to stay airborne, before it hit the water.”
While there were no reports of missing aircraft, local authorities took the matter seriously enough to coordinate a full on search of the waters, attended to by police, firefighters, and EMS workers. There was even a helicopter on scene conducting an aerial search.
On Tuesday morning the search continued, when at approximately 1:30 pm there was a sonar hit of a large object over nine meters down. The search was called off when they realized the unknown object was too far out of reach of their underwater camera.
According to Ottawa police Constable Alain Boucher, “The size and the shape doesn’t lead us to believe it’s any piece of an airplane or fuselage or anything like that… It could be a rock, it could be a bunch of logs stuck together, it’s hard to say.”
This breaking news follows hot on the heels of a report last week that the Russian Navy has recently declassified Soviet-era records pertaining to USOs, or “Unidentified Submerged Objects.”
“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes,” says Vladimir Azhazha, a renowned Russian UFO investigator and former navy officer. “So UFOs tend to stick to the water.”
